FAQ
Questions from carpenters.
Does Ovaro handle bespoke kitchen and furniture quotes?
Yes — line items can be free-text descriptions plus quantity and rate, so any bespoke build can be quoted exactly.
Can I add CSCS / Construction Industry Scheme deductions?
Yes — add CIS deductions as a line item on invoices for contractor work. Native CIS handling is on the roadmap.
How do I track timber and ironmongery receipts?
Snap a receipt at the merchants and Ovaro categorises it ready for your tax return.
Will it work on my phone on site?
Yes — Ovaro is mobile-first. Speak the quote, send the invoice, take the payment, all from your phone.
